It’s A Bird, It’s A Plane, No It’s Hokie Bird!

Virginia Tech themed birthday cake that I did back in October. The mother told me that her daughter loves everything Virginia Tech. Vanilla cake with white chocolate buttercream frosting. The first image shows how the cake looks in it’s sculpted, undecorated form. Feathers on the back were made from gumpaste as well as the banners that the bird is holding. Cake was sculpted freehand. First time sculpting a bird! Rather pleased with the results.
